2 Sides of Technical Communication

Electronic or Information Technology Side, Human Side

Enhances the speed, volume, and variety of ways of transmitting information.

Information Technology

A tool not a substitute for human interaction.

Information Technology

Purposes of Technical Communication

To define, To describe, To explain

Explaining what “variable annuity” means for insurance clients.

To define

Showing an architectural client what a new office building will look like.

To describe

Telling a stereo technician how to eliminate bass flutter in your company’s new line of speakers.

To explain

Types of Audiences or Readers of Technical Communication

Scientists, Engineers, Executives, Managers, Lawyers, The Public

They search for knowledge to “understand the world as it is”.

Scientists

Thay look for at 98% probability that chance played no role in a study’s outcome.

Scientists

They want to know how well the study was designed and conducted and whether its findings can be replicated.

Scientists

They know that their answers are never “final”, but open ended and ongoing.

Scientists

What seems probable today might be rendered improbable by tomorrow’s research.

Scientists

They rearrange “the materials and forces of nature” to improve the way things work.

Engineers

They solve problems like these: how to erect a suspension bridge that withstands high winds, how to design a lighter airplane or a smaller pacemaker, how to boost rocket thrust on a space shuttle.

Engineers

Their concern is ultimately with practical applications, with structures and materials that are tested for safety and dependability.

Engineers

They focus on decision making. In a global business climate of overnight developments (in world markets, political strife, military conflicts, and natural disasters) executives must often react on the spur of the moment.

Executives

In such cases, they rely on the best information immediately available even when this information is incomplete or unverified.

Executives

They oversee the day-to-day operations of their organizations, focusing on problems like these: how to motivate employees, how to increase productivity, how to save money, how to avoid workplaces accidents.

Managers

They collaborate with colleagues and supervise various projects.

Managers

To keep things running smoothly, they rely on memos, reports, and other forms of information sharing.

Managers

They focus on protecting the corporation from liability or corporate sabotage by answering questions like these: Do these instructions contain adequate warnings and cautions? Is there anything about this product or document that could generate a lawsuit? Have any of our trade secrets been revealed?

Lawyers

They carefully review documents before approving their distribution outside the company.

Lawyers

They focus on the big picture on what pertains to them directly: What does this mean to me? How can I use this product safely and effectively? Why should I even read this?

The public

They rely on information for some immediate practical purpose: to complete a task (What do I do next?). to learn more about something (What are the facts and what do they mean?), to make a judgment (Is this good enough?)

The Public

Audience or readers may be classified as:

Primary, Secondary

Readers or users are those who requested the document as a basis for decisions or actions.

Primary

Readers or users are those who will carry out the project, who will advise the decision makers, or who will be affected by this decision in some way.

Secondary

Levels of Technicality of Technical Communication

Highly Technical Document, Semi Technical Document, Nontechnical Document

Are experts who expect the facts and figures they need without long explanations.

Highly Technical Documents

They answer concisely the anticipated questions of the readers: What is the problem? What is the solution? What is the result?

Highly Technical Documents

Users or readers have some technical background, but less than the experts.

Semi Technical Documents

Readers have no training or technical background.

Nontechnical Documents

They expect technical data to be translated into words most people understand.

Nontechnical Documents
